Lake Sammamish Baseball Association

Registration

Registration for the Spring 2009 season opened on October 1, 2008. We use an on-line system for conducting registration. You will be able to register from the convenience of your own home or where ever you have access to the Internet. You can start registration by clicking on one of the programs above.

Existing Account or New Account

Existing Accounts

In the event your player played for LSBA last season, then you already have an account and only need to login under your previous account ID and Password.  Don't worry if you do not remember the ID or Password.  You can have them sent to you via your email.  The system will require you to set a new password  this year after you log in for the first time.  The old password will have expired.

New Accounts

If you are new to LSBA, you will need to establish a new account, account ID and password.  Please remember the ID and Password because you will use that during the Practice Season and Game Season to review the  schedule, see notes from the coach, see your team mates and their telephone numbers.

Coaches will use this to contact players via email.  This will also provide the coach a current roster of players for the team.  The coach or assistant coach will be able to post comments and pictures about a game as well as entering the score of the game.

Preformed Teams

If you already belong to a team you will still need to register and pay the league fees and check with your coach in terms of additional payment you will need to make to the coach as well as what name you should enter for the team name. The league will move the player on to the proper team. Players moving on and off Preformed Teams may be charged an administrative fee of $15 for making the change.

Age

 To be eligible to play, your player must be of the proper league age, and must live within the official Lake Sammamish Baseball Association boundaries. The league age requirement is determined based on your child's actual age as of April 30th of the season they are registering for. For example, if you are registering for Spring 2008 then it would be their age as of April 30th of 2008.  You will need to register for the proper age group even in the event you are requesting to have your player play in an older age group.  You will then need to request from LSBA a change of status.  This is done not only for insurance purposes but to provide each player an enjoyable playing season. The player will be required to attend the skill evaluation to verify the capability and skills to play in a different division.
